In reply to the discussion: Mary Trump rips Jon Stewart for 'bringing back the same B.S. - NJ.com [View all]erronis
(24,755 posts)1. A longer excerpt from Mary
In what universe is Donald vibrant, productive or capable? And this statement wasnt even tongue-in-cheek. Stewart was making a straight-up comparison.
There are no excuses here. Stewart knows who Donald is. Donald isnt vibrant. He is compulsive and unhinged. Donald isnt productive. He is inept. Donald isnt capable. He is a disaster. ...
I dont even care that he brought up President Bidens age. ... The fact of the matter is, Biden is old. Its absurd to pretend otherwise, so, lets just own it. Its that Stewart is pretending ... that Donald can be favorably compared to President Biden by any metric. This is a serious question: What possible purpose does that serve, especially since it is completely wrong?
She continued: President Biden is an elder statesman with experience to get things done that can give American democracy a fighting chance. The alternative?
A cruel, unfit, rapist who, in addition to being a criminal defendant under four indictments, sides with our enemies at every opportunity.

I had the same impression of JS during the show - made it through the first 5 minutes and had to turn it off.

I gave him a try last Monday but nothing to it. Tried too hard to be bipartisan.

Well said. And another older statesman said that allowing parties to rule would destroy democracy.

Stewart was really disappointing. Attempting to equate a lunatic with a statesman was terrible.
